My iPhone is now asking for my password from my old email address associated with ICLOUD. How do I enter my new email address into my iPhone??

If you are being asked for the password for your old AppleID/iCloud account when changing the settings on your iPhone, you may find the steps outlined in the following article helpful:

iCloudHi shelby,
You need to do the following:
1. Sign into Manage your Apple ID with your current ID and password, and EDIT the ID back to the old email address. This is temporary. Do NOT verify it, do NOT change the password: Apple - My Apple ID
2. Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll to the bottom of the screen and click on Delete Account.Type in your current password when asked, then follow the prompts to delete the iCloud account from your device
3. Go back to Manage your Apple ID and sign in with the old ID and the current password. EDIT the Apple ID back to the new email address. You may have to verify it again.
4. Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with the new ID
Cheers,
